Rtam-bharaa prajñaa (usein nykyään muodossa pragyaa, joka vastaa paremmin
modernia ääntämystä) tarkoittanee kirjaimellisesti 'totuutta-kantava tietoisuus'.

Se viittaa ainakin yoga-suutraan I 48:

Rtam-bharaa tatra prajñaa

Adverbi 'tatra' on viittaus edelliseen suutraan, I 47

nirvicaara-vaishaaradye 'dhyaatma-prasaadaH.

Noh, saMprajñaata-samaadhissa on Patañjalin mukaan neljä
eri tasoa, karkeimmasta hienoimpaan:

vitarka
vicaara
aananda
asmitaa

Ainakin kahden ekan välissä on kai jonkinlainen siirtymävaihe,
jota ilmaisee prefiksi 'nir':

nirvicaara (ilman vicaaraa, lausu vitshaaraa)

Åbo Akademin uskontotieteen dosentti Måns Broo kääntää
 tuon suutran I 47 seuraavasti:

Ei-pohtivassa menestyttyä sisäisen itsen kirkkaus.

Teosofi I. K. Taimnin käännös:

On attaining the utmost purity of the nirvicaara stage (of samaadhi)
there is the dawning of the spiritual light.

Måns'in käännös I 48:aan

Siinä ymmärrys on totuutta kantava.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi kommentoi tuota nirvicaaraan perustuvaa
Rtambharaa - tasoa seuraavasti:


Ritam from MMY View (1966 Kumbah Mela)

" There was that point some day to express more clearly what ritam bhara pragya
is. Ritam means satyam. Satyam means `truth`. Bhara (...?) which accepts only
the truth. That state of intellect which only accepts the truth, or which only
reflects the truth. In that state only the truth is reflected.

That ritam bhara pragya is that state of intellect, which conceives or perceives
things as they are. In that state of celestial experience, if Krishna comes,
then he is real Krishna. If Shiva comes, he is real Shiva. If Divine Mother
comes, she is real Divine Mother. There is no mental hallucination, there is no
other than the real form in that perception.

Until that thing has happened we don't want to desire to see anything.
Otherwise, much before that state is gained, you could desire and something
flashes, but there won't be the guarantee for truth of it. Something may be
right, something may be wrong. Therefore we don't think to see anything until
the celsetial vision becomes clear.

And once that is clear, anything could be seen in that state. We desire
something and it is there in its true colour. There won't be any mistake in
there."
